Shop Local: 7 Picks from Washington Jewelry Designers

It’s not that we don’t love a sparkly bauble from a big-box retailer—see our ample collection of shiny H&M necklaces and dainty Forever 21 studs as evidence—but there’s something special about finding an awesome piece that’s been lovingly dreamed up right here in the area. Our region is lucky to count a whole lot of jewelry designers among our very own, from minimalist GiantLion to luxe Dina Mackney.
